Abstract

An apparatus may include a control unit to control display of at least one first mark representing a power generating unit and a second mark representing a power storage unit and change of an indication display between the first mark and the second mark according to an amount of power supplied from the power generating unit to the power storage unit.

Claims

1. An apparatus comprising:

a control unit to control display of at least one first mark representing a power generating unit and a second mark representing a power storage unit and change of an indication display between the first mark and the second mark according to an amount of power supplied from the power generating unit to the power storage unit.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the indication display includes at least one indication block.

3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the change of the indication display includes movement of the indication block.

4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein a speed of the movement of the indication block is according to the amount of power supplied.

5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the speed is increased when the amount of power supplied is increased and the speed is decreased when the amount of power supplied is decreased.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the indication display includes a numerical value indicating the amount of power supplied.

7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the at least one first mark includes a plurality of first marks and indication displays corresponding respectively to the first marks are different from one another.

8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the change of the indication display includes change of at least one of color or shape.

9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the control unit controls the display of the first mark according to the amount of power supplied.

10. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the control unit controls display of a third mark representing grid power, weather or an outlet.

11. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the control unit controls display of a third mark representing an amount of power in accordance with time.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the third mark represents an amount of power generated or power consumed.

13. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the control unit controls display of another indication display according to an amount of power consumed.

14. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the control unit controls display of an indication of a total amount of at least one of power generated or power consumed.

15. A method comprising:

controlling, by a processor, display of at least one first mark representing a power generating unit and a second mark representing a power storage unit and change of an indication display between the first mark and the second mark according to an amount of power supplied from the power generating unit to the power storage unit.

16. A non-transitory recording medium recorded with a program executable by a computer, the program comprising:

controlling display of at least one first mark representing a power generating unit and a second mark representing a power storage unit and change of an indication display between the first mark and the second mark according to an amount of power supplied from the power generating unit to the power storage unit.

17. An apparatus comprising:

a control unit to control display of at least one first mark representing a power storage unit and a second mark representing a power consumption unit and change of an indication display between the first mark and the second mark according to an amount of power from the power storage unit consumed by the power consumption unit.

18. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the second mark is a mark representing an outlet.

19. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the second mark is changed from the mark representing an outlet to a mark representing an electronic apparatus.
